Object Detail
Description
An image of a half-woman/animal (with ears, tail and back hair) positioned in an active volcanic landscape and standing in front of a large black wave. The figure has their arms raised as if to ward off the wave but is looking directly at the viewer. The image was influenced by the Texan oil crisis in the mid-1980s and painted in a thick impasto texture.
